Kansas City CBS station appoints Summers co-anchor

The following excerpt was sent out from CBS TV station kctv5.com:

Zac Summers

KCTV5 is adding to its evening anchor team, naming Zac Summers as the co-anchor of its 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts.

Zac will join current KCTV5 anchor Sharon Chen on the anchor desk for both evening broadcasts.

Zac comes to KCTV5 from WANF in Atlanta, where he spent three years as a general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor for the Gray Television station. This is a bit of homecoming for Zac, as he spent three years at WDAF in Kansas City, and was born and raised just outside of St. Louis.

“I have been fortunate to work in cities across the country, but I never felt more at home than when I was in Kansas City,” Summers said. “This community first captured my heart six years ago, and I always knew I would come back. I’m excited to join the KCTV5 team and look forward to embracing the community I consider home.”

Zac will not only anchor evening newscasts, but he will also continue to tell meaningful stories and be heavily involved in Kansas City’s most important community events.
